......

Claire and Y/n looked out over water, the realization that the broadcast Y/n heard was more likely a bait now.

Were turning around.

Y/n kicks up the motor and turns the boat around. Claire reaches over and turns the motor off.

What are-

Im not leaving until we find Jesse.

Claire its clear Jesse wasn't the contact, so the chances their here is slim to none!

But what other leads do I have?

The two turn around to see in the distance a wooden tower like structure slowly timbers into the water. They look at each other then back to the splash site, then something breached the water showing off a large dark translucent fin.

Y/n doesn't hesitate to get back on the motor and start pulling on the chord violently but the engine refused to kick over.

.... Dude?

I've already decided were leaving!

Claire didn't look at him as the water rippled towards their boat, she pulled out her handgun and waited.

Y/n kept pulling on the chord to no effect. He grunted angrily and kept pulling harder and harder.

{Thoughts} I know this motors are unreliable but what kinda horror cliche is this! For. Fuck. Sake. Just. Kick. Over. You. Cocksucker!.....

Y/n stopped and looked at his hand, that had now gone grey skin and black veins through the back of his hand.

Emotional triggers...

Claire fires two shots as the creatures back fin breaches the water again. The creatures rams the boat knocking Claire on her ass and y/n nearly fell out.

Seated against the edge of the boat he looks in his hand to see the engine rip chord had broken off in his hand.

Oops....

Shit!

Don't laugh at me!

The duo stood up to see the creatures fin circling back towards them, Claire reload as Y/n pulled out Samurai Edge Claire began firing off rounds but y/n hesitated as spoke out to them, Claire had lost sight if it but y/n saw the quickly growing shadow.

{Thoughts} It talks?!

The creature uppercuts the boat, the duo go flying. The boat lands ashore in pieces as y/n and Claire land on the submerged housing platform.

Claire tenses up when they landed but she gave a shocked sigh if relief as she felt no pain.

She pushed against the arms holding her and sat up realizing Y/n shielded her and she was now sitting on his lap straddling.

She blushed when he looked her in the eyes and laughed.

So your still alive huh?

Claire shot up and cleared her throat.

Did you see where it went?!

Y/n stood up but was knocked back down as the creature rammed the house they stood on. Claire jumped off that house and to the next roof, Y/n tried to follow but he couldn't make the gap and had to jump onto an overturned fishing boat instead.

He climbed up on the algae coated hull, just then the massive beast jumped up through the building blowing it to bits by sheer force.

The splash down created by the giant fish creature sent a quick rain shower over Claire and Y/n.

Hey! You alright?

I'm fine, look you can use the debris to get to shore! I'll meet you by the windmill!

Claire agreed and made her way through the remnants of the unsunken village, meanwhile Y/n had no choice but to swim to the next platform.

In the distance he could see Claire making progress, he sighs and jumps into the murky cold reservoir.

Below he could barely see 15ft ahead of him but he could see the next platform and without a minute wasted he swam for it.

He gets to the edge of the house and he starts reaching up.

Lookout!

Turning he saw Claire waving at him and the geyser of water rushing him, Y/n jumped up barely managing to evade the large fish fangs.

I'll kill you... then they'll all respect me...

It bumps the building, the building shifts but holds. Y/n leans on a metal scaffolding for support, he looks up noticing a black cable that ran from the pylon to the windmill.

Claire, double time to the windmill!

She looks back at him as he points to the cables, she gives him a gesture of confirmation.

Now I just to get its attention...

He grabs a loose cable and pushes a pallet into the water, he floats into the middle of the holding a cable in one hand his gin in the other.

Claire! What's the ETA on the power?.... Claire?

He shouted towards the windmill with no response, then he heard the splash. Turning around he saw debris shifting in tbe water but no fish.

Claire?...

Almost got it. I need to move the crank!

Crank?.... What windmill's have cranks?

As he said that he saw the windmill begin to turn with a loud mechanical clicking.

I'm trying Mother, I'm trying!

This time he saw the fish and it saw him, all the bright red eyes piercing the water as it made a bullet train charge to Y/n.

Y/n aimed his gun forwards and emptied the clip at the sea beast but it barely flinched.

Claire!!

Now!

The windmill stopped with a loud bang and the circuit breaker on it sparked signifying the cables were live.

Y/n pulled on the pylon cable, the bolts separated from the wet rotten wood and the electric tower fell over.

The creature jumped at Y/n its fangs ready to trap him but instead it bit down on the pylon.

I'M THE BEST!

Y/n was in the front row when the sparks exploded, the flashing surge of electricity gave moreau a blue light from his belly.

Both Y/n and Moreau fell below the waters surface, Claire looked at the calm water with concern.

After a moment Y/n resurfaces pulling himself up onto a roof.

We did it!

yeah... Yeah I guess we did...

Heads up!

Y/n sits up in time to catch something, the radio he gave clear and then it suddenly spoke out.

Hey... Was getting tired of shouting, I'll meet you down there-

No. You get started ahead I'll catch up... Gotta find someone first i was told they keep around here.

Alright... Just be safe.

Y/n. Y/n Callahan... You asked earlier...

Cute name.

Yeah yeah, go find your friend be safe Claire.

He shoved the radio back in his pocket, he heard a wet stomping noise suddenly.

Looking behind him he saw Moreau struggling to get up on the roof in his regular surprisingly bulbous form.

Damn you... Damn you...

He crawled up to his feet with smoke rolling out of his mouth.

You were the fish?! Fuck sake...

There all going to laugh at me... Mother Miranda... She won't love me anymore.... My life is over!

Y/n loomed at Moreau, then at his gun, then Moreau and he sighed pocketing it.

Your life is not over-

How would you know? Your destined to bring upon a great new age... But you RESIST... HERETIC!

Moreau coughs up green vivacious bile, and swats at Y/n basically telling him to shove off.

All my effort... My tests and surgery... But the beasts weren't enough to make her happy... It's never enough... Her and Heisenberg... They call it trash... My effort... Its never enough...

You made the lycans and... Cadou things?

No you fool... The Cadou are of Mother Miranda... Her blessing, but 'lycans'... Why do you all hate me?...

Moreau sighed and made noises that sounded like guttural sobbing.

Y/n sat beside him.

I don't hate you. Were more the same then we realized.

Monreau stopped sobbing, he didn't look up but he listened.

Lies...

You give and give and give... But all we've had is people we thought cared take all from us... Leaving a hole where the dark comes in... Used and broken until they themselves are content... Where does that leave men like us? Alone and Scorned... We hate but we have no idea what we hate anymore... We can't trust but were scared of being alone... If we stop giving then we feel like were dying...... You have a good heart... A caring one at least but your falling under the same thumb i did, the iron fist of your manipulator... The same fist that'll crush you when it befits HER most...

....... No, no you will not deceive me like Dimitrescu... The servant warned us of your tongue-

What do I gain from you Monreau? The lycan don't obey you they obey Miranda... If I had intent to kill Miranda or you or Donna why not 'manipulate' Heisenberg the man who controls all metal? If Alcina can transform why would i not bring her if i intended to remove you?

You... You need me to um, to....

Moreau looks stumped, grumbling to himself but flinches as Y/n stands up.

You used to run a clinic and now you run experiments for Miranda... I want you to experiment on me and together we explore the results.

Absurd!

Miranda wants my blood? Did she ever trust you with the why?

Moreau doesn't speak. He looks back at Y/n with anger.

You aren't trustworthy either!... But...

But?

But... The answers You and Mother seek are the same... And I'll be the one to provide them... With a willing subject...

I know i can't stop you from telling Miranda what will happen... But maybe-

I've already agreed... Don't try to sway me further Heretic... Quickly... My clinic is not far but if Miranda or... He spots us, then this agreement is null!

He-

Before Y/n could ask anything further, Moreau falls into the water and his shadowy takes off towards the shore.

Y/n follows suit as best as possible, jumping from roof to roof to wreckage in order to keep up.

{Thoughts} He's on edge... Paranoid, Confrontational, but I have his scientific interest peeked... It'll have to do for now...
